...counselor. Required Qualifications Romans 15:14 says, “And I myself also am persuaded of you my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.” In this verse, Paul clearly indicates three distinct characteristics that an individual must possess to be a Biblical counselor. The first qualification that Paul indicates as a must for individuals to have is salvation. Paul shows us this with his use of ‘brethren,’ which means brother , in this verse. Paul uses brethren to signify that the people he was writing to in Rome were his brothers. These people were not physically his brothers, but they were saved so they were Paul’s brothers in Christ. The second qualification that Paul indicates in Romans 15:14 as a must for individuals to have is ‘full of goodness.’ Writers in the New Testament use three different Greek words for goodness. The word that Paul uses is this verse means moral goodness, upright, or virtuous. An individual, in order to be ‘full of goodness,’ needs to grow in Christ and learn to be morally upright. These people are not satisfied with the way that their life is, they have not reached perfection in their life so they must continue growing and learning. The third qualification that Paul indicates in Romans 15:14 as a must for individuals to have is ‘filled with all knowledge.’...

...leadership of the new president John Mack and his executive team. President Mack was looking for people to “shake up the culture.” With heavy resistance, he recruited Paul Nasr to be the Senior Managing Director in Capital Market Services. Paul was a highly regarded banker with over twenty (20) years of experience. He knew that one of Morgan Stanley’s weak areas was Capital Market Services, an area where he had been successful in the past. Paul also knew that it would take more than a traditional corporate banker to penetrate this market. That person must be energetic, aggressive and innovative. That’s why he recruited Rob Parson. Rob developed relationships with the important players in the banking and insurance industries and a strong reputation. Rob is not easily discouraged or intimidated and knows what it takes to get the job done. His drive and ambition allows him to connect with his clients but sometimes distances him from his co-workers. The position that Paul needed to fill was difficult to perform and had a very high turnover rate. He thought that Rob was the perfect person to fill that billet. Rob accepted the position with the understanding that there was a potential for growth because the effort was in need of repair and that the Morgan Stanley had done very little business in Capital Markets. Paul implicitly promised Rob a promotion to managing director during recruitment. Rob never thought that he would have to tip-toe on egg shells when dealing with co-workers...

...HOOKUPS,COLLEGE STUDENTS “Hookups”: Characteristics and Correlates of College Students Spontaneous and Anonymous Sexual Experience By: Authors: Elizabeth Paul, Brian McManus, & Allison Hays ProQuest 2000 Kourtney Reed Section 1 Hookups can be defined as a sexual encounter which may or may not include sexual intercourse usually, occurring on only one occasion between two people who are strangers or brief acquaintance (Paul, McManus & Hayes, 2000 ). The terms "friends with benefits" and "casual sex" are also used as synonyms for hooking up.To college students this definition doesn’t mean anything. When they hear the term hooking up, they think of only two things having fun and worrying about the consequence later. According to Time Magazine “hooking up” is becoming a trend-an epidemic, amongst students entering college and adolescents' and young adults' across the border. Sexual attitudes and behaviors have gotten a lot less traditional. Trends show a decline in traditional forms of dating suggesting that casual sexual interaction is becoming an alternative to traditional exclusive sexual relationships.

This research study was based on 555 undergraduate students who attend a state college in the northeastern part of the United States. The students were selected randomly from a number table.

Cather’s “Paul’s Case” focuses on a teenage boy with many issues, who involves himself in felonious actions of thievery as an escape from his morbid life in Pittsburg.

...Introduction The case study focuses on an employee, Paul Keller, who is being affected by a number of factors. His job performance is hindered by constraints such as his work environment, his home environment, stressors, mood, and the management style of his superior. The case study demonstrates how his job performance is affected and what the consequences could be as a result of his poor job performance and lack of concentration. II. Problems Paul is not able to perform his job well due to, in his opinion, being tired. The conversations with his wife that replays in his thoughts show how he is conflicted at home. He apparently does not have a strong, supportive home environment. The case study also shows that he does not receive much support from his superior at work either. He possesses many stressors that are affecting his personal and work life. Stressors are any demands, either physical or psychological in nature, that are created by external events encountered during the course of living (Greenberg, 2010). Stressors can lead to job strains. According to Greenberg in his text Managing Behavior in Organizations, strain is an alteration from normal states of human functioning that results from exposure to stress that can be psychological (e.g., depression), physical (e.g., headache, muscle aches), physiological changes (e.g., increased blood pressure), or behavioral (e.g., smoking or withdrawal from work). Paul is displaying a dimension of mood known as negative affectivity...
